Stop-work order for an agricultural road:

Furthermore, the Israelis ordered the immediate stoppage of the milling of a 4-km-long agricultural road connecting Dahr Subuh with Kafr ad Dik town; the road is being opened through a project implemented by the PARC. The contractor was ordered to immediately stop working in the road.

On October 2, 2011, Israeli soldiers ordered the immediate overlaying of base course in the road connecting Kafr ad Dik with Dahr Subuh area. It must be pointed that the road is vital for the prosperity of the village knowing that it makes 80% of the village agricultural lands more accessible.
